I am a 4th year graduate student working in the Liu Lab at the University of Oregon. My research focus is air-free organoboron chemistry and learning about properties of the chemicals that I make. In one project we are trying to store hydrogen with our compounds. This could be used to fuel cars instead of gasoline. Other methods to store hydrogen (as a gas or liquid) require too much energy, but our compounds are just right.

I am from southern Idaho so I am really excited to get back to the desert. In my spare time I love to read, garden and spend time with my husband and Yorkshire terrier, Magnum.
